They were guided to a table not too far from the entrance to the gazebo, where Sylvia had her encounter with Steve Anderson. When they were in the eyesight of Lucas and Olivia, their eyes became wide.‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Lucas asked himself.“Honey, I thought you had taken care of him?” Olivia asked, whispering through clenched teeth as she placed a fake smile on the group.“I don’t know. They promised results by the end of today, maybe later?” Lucas whispered back.“Welcome, Julie, Claire, and Tabitha,” Lucas said, waving them to have a seat. “Please sit, oh I’m so sorry I didn’t know that you were also arriving. We don’t have enough chairs or room. Why don’t you and your guests have another table?” Lucas said and turned to the maître d’.“I’m sorry, sir, but we are already booked. There are no other tables available for the duration of the night.” The maître d’ said with an apologetic look.Blake looked around, and there were several empty tables around. He smiled and casually
“The CEO of Elon Trust? Is he coming here?” William asked, looking pleased. They had wanted to get to know the CEO of Elon Trust for a merger deal that would bring the Carlton family into the social, economic masses.“Yes. Miss. Susan Writtle, here is his assistant waiting on the meal.” Blake said, looking at William to answer his question.“Miss. Writtle, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Benjamin Carlson.” Benjamin reintroduced himself again.“Yes, I know. You introduced yourself earlier. Do you normally repeat yourself?” Susan asked with disdain in her voice.“No, no, I do not.”“Uhum,” Susan said, then looked at Blake. “Sir, did he not just do it again?”“Why, Miss. Writtle, I do recollect that he did, and it’s a nasty habit when doing business. Furthermore, standing at someone’s table is very rude.” Blake said with a smile towards Susan.Seeing that they were being played, Benjamin became upset and was fuming as Claire and Tabitha tried to stop their giggling over the events.“For you
“Uhm, excuse me, but the CEO will arrive shortly.” Susan interrupted the two brothers.This person is the CEO of Elon Trust, so low-key that no one knows his true identity. Everyone was excited about meeting him for the first time, and even Julie was a little anxious about meeting him.There was a commotion when a man in a white suit entered the building holding some documents. Mr. Sam Wheaton arrived and waited at the door to welcome the CEO of Elon Trust. A handsome man walked in with his hair flowing as a breeze passed, but there was no wind in the building; his aura was that of a warrior and showed dominance over everyone. The onlookers were shocked by the scene before them. This was the same man that was shot and dragged away. He made his way to the shocked and confused Lucas’s party.“Sorry, I’m late. I had the damndest thing happen. Someone tried to shoot my mother-in-law. But rest assured, the culprit didn’t get too far. Now where the hell is our waiter?” Blake looked around w
“Well, a new order of business has to take place,” Blake said as he headed towards the scared maître d’.“You, get all staff out here right now. We are having a meeting.” Blake told the man.“By what authority?” The man asked.“By the authority, I now own this establishment,” Blake said, showing him the papers.Wide-eyed, the man read the papers stating that Elon Trust owned the Shangri-la Restaurant. The two brothers looked at one another and placed their heads lower.“Yes, sir. Right away, sir.” The man almost tripped on his own feet, trying to get everyone out to have a staff meeting.Blake looked around, and there were still a few diners enjoying their meal, and Blake was dissatisfied.“All of you, leave the facility now. Don’t worry about your bill; it’s on the house.” Blake said, telling the rest of the dinners to leave.The diners left one after the other until one stopped in front of Blake with an apologetic look.“Sir, please excuse our lack of help; we are defenseless to the
Blake looked at Julie, surprised at her demeanor changing rapidly, first hostile and then loving, making Blake shake his head in amazement.“Okay, you two.”“Please, we meant no harm. Please be magnanimous and be the bigger person.” Benjamin said, looking at Blake with a pleading look.“Be magnanimous. Be the bigger person? Meant no harm? Who authorized the assassination of Julie Weston?” Blake asked, taking a sip of his wine.Both the brothers looked at one another. They had planned it with Lucas. If the daughters were too stubborn, they would show their strength by getting rid of their mother, giving the girls a sense of helplessness and conquering them in the process. But who in their right mind would confess to such an act when it had failed?“Sir, It was all Lucas’s idea, and William and I had no part in it,” Benjamin stated, hoping not to be found out.Blake frowned at the two men as if he could see through them.“From your own mouth, you were trying to bestow the wisdom to your
“It’s a standard issue when you’re in my position,” Blake said, still sitting with Susan, Helen, and Mr. Wheaton.“Blake, why don’t we place our tables together?” Claire said, noticing that Blake didn’t come to their table after everyone had left.“Sure, let’s do that,” Blake said and had the waiters move the tables around for them. After everyone was settled, Blake was sitting between Susan and Claire.Everyone greeted everyone, and small talk commenced, but every so often, glances toward Blake by the women around him would be noticed by Claire.“Blake, why did you let the Carlson family off with a warning? With the power of the family, it would be easy for you to have destroyed them as well.” Mr. Wheaton asked over his meal.“It’s better to have allies that enemies. I could indeed have destroyed their family, and then there would have been a void that needed to be filled. The family is now in a precarious position with what the men did tonight, and I can use that to my advantage.” B
The two men were in their car when they saw Blake carrying Sara out of the burning building and were stunned by the scene before them. Was he not human? The fire alone would incinerate any living person. Blake then placed Sara into one of the vans not destroyed by the explosions and slowly walked to the men in their car.“Quick, get us out of here!” The scholar man yelled at the middle-aged man who was behind the wheel.Blake waved his hand casually, and the hood and engine were cut in half, allowing the fuel and water to spray everywhere. The car was not going anywhere.Shock, disbelief, and horror went through the two men seeing their vehicle cut in half. Blake went up to the window of the driver’s side and lightly tapped on it, making Blake look like a demon to the two men.“If you two gentlemen kindly get out of the car, we can continue our conversation,” Blake said through the window showing no emotions.The men were frozen in their seats, not moving. Blake sighed, and with a lig
In Villa forty-five, Eric Shuler was waiting for the men he had hired to bring Sylvia to him. He had loved her since they were kids, but she would always be after Blake, which was why he hated Blake passionately. He had wanted Blake taken out for a long time, and it wasn’t till his father’s death that secrets came to the surface.Eric was pondering over the last few years when he tried to eradicate Blake, which coincided with his father’s eradication of Blake’s parents. ‘The first time was when he left the Elon family. I had hired assassins to take his life before he joined the military, but he had hidden bodyguards around him that foiled my plans. During his tenure in the military, it was even more difficult. My uncle saw personally to watch over him and guided Blake to the special forces and commendations. Who would have known he would become the most lethal soldier in the military? It took great planning for his platoon’s ambush and trying to kill Blake, which failed. What luck is
Blake and Michael were on their way to the Ministry of the Church when the revelation that Consuela was with the children was heading there to meet with him.“Damn, I forgot about the children,” Blake muttered to himself.Feeling that they could take care of themselves, he didn’t share Claire’s worry and knew of Consuela’s strength.“Michael, when we get there, watch over the children as well,” Blake said.Michael looked at Blake in the back of the car with surprise.“Your children will be there as well?” Michael asked.He had little time to know the children and didn’t know their powers.“This will be a training lesson for them,” Blake replied and left it like that.‘A training lesson? Who sends their children into a battle as a training lesson?’ Michael thought to himself.Not long after, they arrived at their destination and parked alongside Consuela, who was waiting outside the car with the children inside, anxiously wanting to help. Blake exited the car and met with Consuela.“Yo
When the rest of the children left, only Blake was in his seat, and Miss. Price was behind her desk looking at the work they had submitted for the day. Blake patiently waited while Miss. Price looked over some of the work, then placed the papers down and looked at the youth in front of her sternly.“Blake, Elon.” Miss. Price said rather coldly.“Yes. Miss. Price?” Blake asked.“It’s come to my attention that you are to commence in a fight after school?”“No, Miss. Price.” Blake replied, making her eye twitch that he would lie in front of her so blatantly.“Are you lying? It’s been traveling in the school that Jerold has challenged you behind the gym. Are you denying this?” Miss. Price asked.“No. Miss Price. It’s as it’s been said. Jerold does want to fight behind the gym.” Blake said.“Then why lie and tell me no when I asked you.” Miss Price asked, flustered over the conversation.“I replied to your question about whether I was going to fight. I replied no because I had no intention
Gloria frowned and was about to move to help Blake with her wind powers.“Stop! What are you doing? We are in school.” Blake stopped Gloria.“What? I wanted to help you dust off.” Gloria said, pouting her displeasure at him stopping her.“Not in school. We can’t show our powers so easily. Jerold is already calling us freaks.” Blake said, looking sternly at her.“Hey, what’s the hold-up? I’m hungry.” A voice came behind them, and a young boy with brown hair and almost the same features as Blake arrived, along with another girl with long black hair.“That’s all you ever think of is food, Kyle,” Gloria said. “Blake was bullied again.”“Isn’t that the third time this week?” Lacey asked with a soft voice.“Fourth, if you include what he did in class by tripping Blake when he went to do the math problem,” Olivia stated.“Come on, let’s go and eat,” Blake said as he led the four others into the school cafeteria line.While they were waiting, Olivia inched her way closer to Blake. “Are you co
“I’ll be staying here as well,” Maia said with a gleam in her eye.“I don’t want you to go and do anything foolish.” Blake Prime said.“Don’t worry. I’ll watch her and the rest of the family well.” Blake three stated.“I’ll be returning to the Small World and increase my cultivation. The Syrum Syndicate has finally stabilized, and I can focus on my training.” Dynasty replied.“I can’t leave and need to tend to the baby, but Nancy, you should go into the Small World at least and continue cultivating,” Koran said, looking at Nancy, who had always stayed by her side.“No need. When you give birth, we will continue.” Nancy replied, looking like it didn’t matter whether she needed to cultivate or not.“I will return to the Small World as well.” Kelly Wheaton proclaimed, not giving a reason.“I’ll be following you then as well. I asked for a few days off from the precinct and said I would bring my level up.” Jill said, placing her arm around the youthful girl beside her.Then, all attention
“I’ll speak to Kilgore on this matter,” Jack said, sighing. This would also damage the family’s reputation. Using the Kilgore family and then kicking them out of the family was a great taboo in the Upper Realm. Who would trust such a family?“Talk, talk, talk, just go and kick his sorry ass to the street; I never liked that man, to begin with.” Roseline’s Grandfather stated this with a harumph to emphasize his discontent. “My Roseline was always too good for him.”Roseline sighed in relief. With her Grandfather here, she was surely going to dissolve her marriage to Robertson Kilgore, and then she would be free to pursue Blake with a clear conscience.“Come. Let Grandpa Harold have a look at you.” Grandpa Harold said with a kind smile at his Granddaughter.“Grandpa,” Roseline said, and she arrived before her Grandfather with a girlish smile.“Good, good. You’ve grown in your cultivation, to middle God Lord, not too shy from the peak if I don’t miss my guess.” Grandpa Harold proclaimed
“What? God Lord? Roseline, how could you be God Lord?” Rosleine’s Mother asked, surprised by this fact.“Not only God Lord but middle level. She is only one level under Robertson. How is this possible?” Roseline’s Father asked with suspicion in his eyes. “ Have you been removing the Origin Stones or Crystals without permission?”“Father, what Daughter to you take me as?” Roseline asked, feeling disappointed in her Father. Instead of praising her for her accomplishments, he accused her of stealing. “ You know I’m a Master Formations Master, I utilized an Origin gathering Formation.”Roseline had thought about how to explain her increase to her parents a long time ago when she witnessed Blake creating his Spirit Qi gathering Formation and was able to utilize it here in the Upper Realm. The Gathering Formation had been lost for generations, and no one could directly cultivate the Origin within the Upper Realm.“Impossible. That Formation has been lost for so long. How could you know of s
Roseline continued on her way to her Father’s estate. She wanted to see him and have an audience to discuss the disbandment of the Kilgore and Haven families. Her Father had dotted on her since she was a child. She felt that her Father would take her side after he listened to what Kilgore was doing with the Heavenly Tribulation Formation and his infidelity so bluntly in front of her.Roseline didn’t have to travel far since their home was joined with the Haven family estate, as it was customary in the Upper Realm for the married children to be allowed to live within the family. Passing many servants, she stopped one and inquired where her Father was. She was informed that he was entertaining guests as he had been doing since he retired from the Heavenly Formation task.Thanking the servant, she quickly went to her Father’s entertainment hall. Entering slowly, for she didn’t know who her Father was entertaining at this time, she looked on at the three people in the room.Her Mother was
Kilgore could only bow to the fading statue and reply.“Yes, Master.”When the flaming statue disappeared altogether, Kilgore was able to relax. His Master was more potent than any person he had encountered as a God all his life.“Roseline. I will break your control of the Formation and retake what is rightfully mine.” Kilgore mainly said to himself through clenched teeth and rushed out of his room to confront his wife.It was soon discovered he couldn’t enter Roseline’s room due to the powerful barrier formation surrounding her room. Even if he tried to break it with all his might, it would only deflect it back to him threefold and could cause him more damage. With a huff, he left the area.“Stay in your room, hiding like the turtle you are,” Kilgore said as he was leaving when an aura not much worse than his came to him, making him turn around in surprise.“Did she break through? How? She hasn’t had any cultivation resources lately and has only recently broken through to the peak Go
She was channeling the white energy and discovered that it had already entered her womb and fertilized one of her eggs.“This is all your fault again,” Claire said, slapping Blake Prime consecutively to vent her frustration.“It’s fine; we will handle it. I love you.” Blake Prime said and kissed her passionately, stopping her from continuously slapping him.Feeling Blake’s kiss, she melted into his embrace and knew she had nothing to fear.“She must have planned for you to be delayed in ascending with Blake,” Maia said, turning her head towards the loving couple.“You want to continue?” Blake three asked Maia, who was still on top of him.“As much as I would love to experience what she had, I’m not into having three men at once. I already received what I wanted.” Maia said, placing her hands over her stomach.The other two then looked at Claire, who was hugging Blake Prime. Don’t even think about it. That was all Roseline’s idea. I only went along for the ride and got more than I barg
